That I probably will receive a pension in 4 years, 7 months.

Same question.

Health, family, and for the first time in my life, a good-sized circle of friends from volunteering.

Aaand, since I've seen a few people addressing questions outside of those directly above them:

Do you have an official diagnosis?
Nope, it's merely been suggested by one special ed teacher. That doesn't stop my mom from claiming it as fact. Not that I mind the notion, it's just that it isn't something from someone qualified to make that call, y'know?

Take a page from a bear's book and use a nearby surface.


What was your very first job? Alternatively if you've never been employed, what job would you feel you would be best suited for?

A person with Schizoid Personality Disorder might only be introverted and dislike company. There is not necessarily an evident disorder in pragmatics (i.e., social interaction). Rules of social interaction must be learned in autism, but are intrinsic in non-autistic people, including those who are introverted,

In the autistic spectrum, there is a disorder in pragmatics, especially of the intrinsic, instinctual variety. An autistic person might not be introverted and dislike social interaction. In Asperger’s, there is awkwardness, not a lack of desire, in social interaction. In classic autism, there is a relative lack of desire for social interaction intrinsically.

Do you believe cats have Asperger’s?


Thank you Kortie for your sage information. I have few instincts socially, and you're right to say none of my social skills developed without conscious effort -- and a fear of peer rejection. Even now I consciously plan, orchestrate and later deconstruct every blink, smile or nod when I'm in public. That's why today has been draining.

Potato,
Thanks for your advice. I'll only wear my spud suit in private.

My first job was selling coupon packages that expired in "September, 1984!!" I remember how futuristic that sounded. I loved adding the pause before 1984 for extra drama.

Have you ever quit a job?

Yes, I packed in the only full-time job I've ever had in my early 40s, and have lived on around £600 per month ever since. If I hadn't done so, I'd probably have ended up in a psychiatric ward or a cardiac unit.

Do you believe in a Universal Basic Income?

I believe in universal health care. I'm still watching countries that are trying a universal basic income before I can form an opinion.

Do you believe people are basically good?

I'd like to believe that, and at times I have believed in something of the sort, but all too often seem to have had good cause to doubt it, certainly as far as all humans go. I find it difficult to like humanity as a species.

Do you believe governments should look out for the interests of savers as opposed to debtors?

I have a belief that some sort of “universe” is an infinite entity.

I find the universe to be the 'unity' of all 'verses', with each 'verse' coexisting together as infinite (centre everywhere and perimeters nowhere) holographic environments, with each verse having its 'bodies' (particles and forms) differently constructed on each dimensional plain, but integrally existing as one interwoven system of embodiments in each case:

1. Dark Energy Orbs '( • )' ~ 'plus' 2. Dark Matter Lattices: '( / )' ~ 'added-to' 3. Light Matter Aggregates ( \ ) ~ as 'equals' galaxies etc '( X )'

The 'Big-Bang' hypothesis is incorrect as black holes or dark energy and matter progressively phase into the light matter of this version of the universe, and at the end of their billion year stints ~ black holes either combine with other black holes, or progressively phase out of this 'verse' and continue on through the others. Some black holes refuel and phase back into this 'verse' again, or else are replaced with new black wholes as generate new galaxies, solar systems and evolutionary lifeforms.

The only big bangs that occur in this 'verse' are stars going supernova at the end of their lifespans, so the back-ground-radiation level (BGR) is on account of black-holes and galaxies existing for billions of years together, or in sequence ~ hence the complete lack of BGR fade, what with it remaining consistently constant. Also the expansion of the universe is not happening as galaxies and black holes come together or pass by one another from different directions ~ galaxies do though expand from and contract back into black wholes.

Perhaps, the present-say Universe was instigated by a “Big Bang.”

I think the "Lots of Little Bangs Theory" accounts for the evidence more fully, whereas the Holofield Theory is just going integration and discovery 'tastic, and hence quantum and astronomical science is moving more swiftly forwards ~ whilst the Bing Bang Hypothesis in media science is still progressively bit by bit being retired as a theory.

^The more posts I read of yours, the more I become convinced that we could be great friends. :)

Seahorses, because they're cute and funny-looking and I like them.

Have you ever played a visual novel?

No I haven't.

Did you ever run away from home?

I thought about it once or twice, during the dark years, [I even got as far as the end of the driveway on one occasion], but there was nowhere to run to.

same question

Yes. I was about eight or nine years old. I put an encyclopaedia and some copies of The Beano (a British comic) into a holdall, left a note for my parents, and headed off towards the station.I turned back after about a quarter of a mile after realizing that I didn't have any money and hadn't thought any of it through. My parents thought it was hilarious, and so do I now, but at the time I was at least half-serious about it...

(Repeat of question I asked earlier): Do you think governments should favour savers more than debtors in their policies?


LOL Kura, it sounds as if we had a similar experience there! :lol:

My situation wasn't funny at all, unfortunately.

I think that governments should focus on seeing everyone as individuals instead of roles and names, but if they did that, they wouldn't be governments anymore.

What do you think of the concept of soulmates and twin flames [which are not the same thing, contrary to popular belief]?

I believe in soulmates as a result of infinite energy transference. I don't know what a twin flame is.

I'm sitting with a friend who accepts my autism but keeps saying "everyone is a bit autistic". What's the best retort? I've tried everything and it's annoying.

Twin flame = one soul as two [though it's a bit more complicated than that].

Hmm...that's a tough one. I'm not even sure what I would say. :scratch:

Do you have vivid dreams?

Sometimes,it's often a bit vague.

Have you ever recognized that you were in a dream?

Yep just last night.

Do you go to bed when you should or do you stay up late?
